"This is just an article, but the great scholar of Da Su is more than an article?" The official seemed to have been completely resisted by Xianggong Xu. He really just sat there and talked about culture and romance. This is a good sign. "Everyone.
When it comes to Tang poetry and Song lyrics, Li Bai in Tang poetry and Su Shi in Song poetry are all gods-like. Even in terms of poetry, Da Su, a bachelor, can be said to be the best in this dynasty. In addition, there are paintings, calligraphy, Su Huangmi and Cai Zhongzhen.
The ones I studied were Su and Huang... Throughout the ages, there have been many saintly kings and famous ministers, but only a few of them have performed morally and meritorious service. But after all, it did not hinder the great scholar Su from standing up. How many years has Su Dongpo been there? But Su Dongpo San
I’m afraid the words are enough to be called immortal, right?”
Everyone naturally sighed.
"Bring it here." Zhao Jiu sighed for a while, and seeing that the atmosphere was good, he waved again.
While everyone was astonished, Feng Yi respectfully held something over, which was a calligraphy and painting scroll. As Feng Yizhong and Yang Yizhong carefully opened the scroll, everyone started to stir with Zhao Guanjia's words: "My lord, sir.
Let's take a look, this is the authentic work of scholar Dongpo, "Ode to the Former Red Cliff"..."
Everyone could no longer restrain themselves, and even Xu Jingheng couldn't stand at all. He hurried forward to take a look, but they were all amazed. The four princes only looked at it for a moment, and several bachelors and ministers became impatient, wishing they could take this thing away immediately.
The four of them went down to see for themselves.
However, Zhao Jiu didn't seem to notice the gestures of these people at all. Instead, he suddenly asked an incomprehensible question: "Is Ma Xingzu okay?"
Everyone was puzzled, but they saw a chamberlain beside the admiral Feng Yihuang carefully taking the original "Ode to the Former Red Cliff", and then ran away in person. After a while, several people came from a small place in the distance with him.
Coming up the slope, the person leading the way was none other than a famous court painter who had just arrived in Nanyang recently. The so-called little pony Ma Xingzu among the big and small horses was each shocked.
"How is the painting?" Zhao Jiu asked with a smile from afar.
"Thank you for your honor." Ma Yuanzu came to the front, bowed his head and looked at it, his tone slightly excited. "It's roughly completed, just waiting for mounting."
While they were talking, several more chamberlains carefully carried a long table to them. Above them was a long scroll with ink that had not yet completely dried... The ministers and workers on the river embankment couldn't help but stamp their feet. How could they not know how to feel?
My ugly behavior of eating fish just now was deceived by the officials, and Ma Xingzu was painted into it!
In fact, this is because they don't understand the good intentions of Zhao Guan's family. At this time, the sun is setting in the west, and the light is coming from the west, illuminating the river embankment cleanly. The so-called good lighting makes everything look good. Ma Yuanzu is sitting on the west side at this time.
Dong, came to paint this painting at the right time.
Of course, Zhao Guan's family wouldn't care if someone was painted ugly... He hurried to look at the painting. He first saw that his posture was quite neat and prominent, so he relaxed and began to appreciate it carefully... However, Zhao Jiu looked at it
After half a day, I didn't see anything good or bad. I just thought it was quite interesting, especially the misty white river. There was a lot of white space in the distance, which contrasted with the small figures with different postures on the river embankment.
While the rest of the people were waiting in panic, Zhao Guanjia had been looking at it for who knows how long, and suddenly he picked up a pen on the case, and then directly wrote in the blank corner of the scroll, using the Su-style calligraphy that his body was accustomed to, and slowly wrote:
There was a passage.
It's exactly this: the river flows with sound, and the bank is broken thousands of feet; the mountains are high and the moon is small, and the water falls and rocks appear. The sun and the moon once had the same geometry, but the mountains and rivers cannot be recognised.
The four surrounding gentlemen watched quietly, each in silence.
After the official finished writing, he called another person: "Su Tan, right?"
"The common people have seen the officials!" Su Shi's eldest grandson quickly stepped forward and bowed to the ground.
"Get up, you are the guest of honor today." Zhao Jiu sighed with a chuckle, and then pointed the finger at the table. "You gave me "Ode to the Former Red Cliff". I am very grateful, but I have nothing to repay, so I have to give you this painting of "White River" "Picture of a Picnic" and then inscribed "Ode to the Later Red Cliff" as a gift in return."
Su Tao was uneasy, as if he didn't know what the officials wanted.
Lu Haowen really couldn't stand it anymore, but he quickly reminded him: "Thank you quickly. With this painting, this word, and today's official discussion of the Eight Great Masters, are you still afraid that Da Su's academician cannot be vindicated?"
Su Tan suddenly realized it and bowed down again, with tears streaming down his face.
When Zhao Jiu saw this, he sighed, turned around and said with a forced smile: "Ms. Lu, I will not send you a note today. I will issue a decree to abolish the ban on Yuanyou Party members!"
"I thank the officials for their kindness." After hearing this, Lu Haowen kowtowed to the ground and thanked him, but no one around him expressed any objection. On the contrary, Ye Mengde and others also followed suit and paid homage.
Zhao Jiu did not panic, but easily helped Lu Haowen... He knew that Lu Xianggong's ancestor was also among the Yuanyou party members' monument.
However, after helping up his prime minister and carrying the painting to the Su brothers, Zhao Guanjia shook his head and laughed again: "I still don't understand, my prime minister is a Yuanyou Party member, and the Yuanyou Party's ban on changes is in name only." , why are you still pressing each other?"
"Officials!" Seeing that Lu Haowen was satisfied and still unwilling to say anything, Xu Jingheng hesitated again and again, and finally faced each other seriously again. "In the court, the two words of right and wrong are of great importance. If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. …”
Zhao Jiu forced a smile again: "That's what I'm afraid of... Mr. Xu, do you have to make a difference? If according to your wishes, the Yuanyou Party members lift the ban, will the Yuanfeng Party members re-ban it? If so, So, Li Gang and Mr. Li Xianggong’s biological father and Mr. Zong Zezong were both promoted by Lu Huiqing. Are they going to be expelled together?”
Xu Jingheng looked embarrassed and could only bow his head and say again: "I have no intention of doing so. As long as the officials can pursue the Yuanyou Party members and clarify the rights and wrongs, let's forget about the Yuanfeng Party members."
Lu Haowen was standing by, hesitating for a moment, but also raised his hands to each other: "I think what Mr. Xu said is very true."
Zhao Jiu almost stopped laughing, but still managed to laugh: "Two husbands, today I have fished for you, painted for you, and even inscribed words with the help of Dasu Bachelor, but I can't change it." Have you been confused for once? The country is in such danger, why can't you two husband-in-law give in a little bit?"
Lu Haowen and Xu Jingheng looked at each other and said nothing.
At this moment, Zhang Jun, who was under the tree next to him, suddenly said while he was still drunk: "The officials, they don't want to fight with the court, but they want to fight with each other. Luo School, the new school is not in harmony... That day in Jingkangzhong, the country The crisis has reached its extreme. They still want Yuansheng (Qinzong of the Song Dynasty) to lift Yuanyou's ban on the party and provoke a dispute. Today, the Jin people have retreated a little, so why not take the opportunity to ask the officials to establish the Luo school as a prominent school and to dismiss the new school as a heresy? From what I see, the two prime ministers are already respectful enough to the officials, because during the Jingkang period, Mr. Lu was so kind as to not let Yuan Sheng eat for these things. Today, even Xianggong Xu can allow the officials to eat and write inscriptions. Isn’t that right? Have you given in a lot?"
Lu Haowen and Xu Jingheng both felt their hearts sink.
As expected, the official also sneered: "Is that so?"
"I have no intention of neglecting the affairs of the state." Xu Jingheng took off his soft hat before Lu Haowen and said sternly. "In the official family, I believe that only when right and wrong are settled can the affairs of the state be settled properly... As for the imperial censor Zhongcheng who impeached the minister and forced the official family to go too far.
, I am willing to follow the rules and resign myself to prove my innocence!"
"Zhang Qi is about to die." Zhao Jiu said suddenly. "Today I have called you to the court meeting early for this matter... Why do you think I am so soft today? Isn't it because of my thoughts?
Do you want to tolerate each other for the sake of the country and maintain the stability of the court?"
Liu Ziyu, who was still having a headache, barely glanced at Zhang Jun, but the latter already regretted that he had been impulsive under the influence of alcohol. As for Lu Haowen and Xu Jingheng... Lu Xianggong was fine, but Xu Jingheng, who was almost a life-and-death friend with Zhang Chu,
He raised his head suddenly.
"Don't you have to give me an explanation?" Zhao Jiu managed to say with a smile. "I will give it to you today... Just now Ye Shangshu asked me why Wang Shu was ranked before Ouyang Xiu, because I admire him selfishly.
Wang Shu is really the number one person in this dynasty!"
Lu Haowen also raised his head.
"It's not about knowledge, it's about politics and being a prime minister. Da Su's bachelor's degree is about standing up for words, while Wang Xianggong is about making meritorious service and standing up for words." Zhao Jiu continued to smile. "If it weren't for the old party's recurrence and the long-term illness of Xixia, where would we be today?
Disaster? As for thieves such as Cai Jing, who pretended to be in the new party, they were implementing the New Deal on the surface, but in fact they were plundering the remnants of the people. Such people were also harmful to people in the old party. What does it have to do with King Wang Shu? Although I am young, I am also
To be able to distinguish the root of right and wrong... Therefore, I will speak frankly today. I can pardon the old party, but if you want me to denounce the new party and respect the old party to decide what is right and wrong, I am determined not to do so!"
Lu Haowen closed his eyes and sighed, while Xu Jingheng's eyes were full of confusion.
"Official!"
At this moment, a man who had not said anything for a long time suddenly raised his voice to remind: "Guan family! You are appointed by Empress Dowager Yuanyou!"
Hearing this, countless people gasped in unison, but they all spoke in unison in their hearts - someone finally said this!
You know, if it weren't for these words, the confidants of Zhao Guan's family would have jumped out and attacked Xianggong Xu. How could the situation worsen to this level?
"Finally someone said this." When the Zhao Guan family heard Ye Mengde's words, they were not angry. "I know what you think! Obviously when I was exiled that day, I also deported the people who proposed to remove Wang Anshi to Lingnan, but you
They are all still going forward...don't you just think that I was established by Empress Dowager Yuanyou, and Empress Dowager Yuanyou was established by Empress Dowager Renxuan (Gao Taotao). Therefore, you think that I will figure it out sooner or later. If we can't inherit the same line, we will respect the old party.
, I am rebellious, and I am not qualified to rule the country... Is that so?"
"I have no such intention." Ye Mengde tried his best to strike, but did not get the expected results. He was already panicking. When he heard the official's harsh words, he quickly took off his soft hat and bowed his head in response.
"Why don't you mean this?" Zhao Jiu laughed again after hearing this. "Xiangong Lu and Xu Xianggong just didn't give me face today, and Ye Shangshu took my face off, so why don't you have such intention?"
"Ye Shangshu was speechless for a moment..." Lu Haowen tried his best to plead for mercy.
"Let Ye Shangshu be the magistrate of Yangzhou." Zhao Jiu said disapprovingly. "Let Lu Yihao, the magistrate of Yangzhou, come here to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry... When Ye Shangshu arrives in Yangzhou, you might as well ask the Queen Mother in person if I don't respect the old party, can I abolish it?"
Lose?"
Ye Mengde's face turned pale and he couldn't even stand anymore. He could only bend down and kowtow. Lu Haowen could only imitate Xu Jingheng beside him and take off his soft hat as a gesture.
But Zhao Guanjia continued: "Why do you think I respect King Wang Shu? Why can't I bring out the old party?! Or is it because I want to resist the Jin Dynasty?! According to your wishes, I respect Sima Guang and Su Shi...
…Should we respect Sima Guang for returning the territory of Xixia, or should we respect Su Shi as a slave of Wei Qing?”
"Officials." Xu Jingheng also turned pale, but he was the last person on the embankment to try his best. "Scholar Da Su is not mocking Wei Qing, he is mocking those who were lucky enough to get in at that time."
"I know!" Zhao Jiu responded with a sneer. "And I think that with the benevolence of the Dasu scholar, if he could see the shame of Jingkang with his own eyes and live a little longer, he would probably become a military minister and go to Hehuang!
But didn't he see the shame of Jingkang? Didn't he not be able to live a new life? If I greatly respected Su Shi and gave him a posthumous title of Taishi or something, when Han Shizhong and others saw "Wei Qing's slave", would they think that the official
On the surface, everyone calls them confidants, but in fact, they regard them as slaves?! Mr. Xu, how many times do you want me to tell you that in today’s affairs, resistance to gold is the most important thing... I don’t want those of you who are obedient to prosper and those who are disobedient.
To perish, as long as you obey and rebel, you will subdue, but you can't do it!"
"I also saw the Jin people retreating slightly, so I took the opportunity to discuss this matter. There is absolutely no evil intention..." Xu Jingheng was already exhausted. "The old party and Luo Xue were not stupid enough to deliberately ignore the military preparations and criticize the military strategy.
meaning."
"You do not have any malicious intentions, nor are you stupid, it's just that you have become accustomed to it." Zhao Jiu said with a smile. "I will teach you one more thing... In the first year of Jingkang, the Jin people went south for the first time. In February, they withdrew their troops and the North Korea
There was a dispute between the two saints, and the Jin people came back in August; in April of the next year, the Jin people kidnapped the two saints, and I ascended the throne in Nanjing in June. Huang Qianshan and Li Gang had another dispute, and in October the Jin people went south for the third time.
; Now in the second year of Jianyan, Jingdong, Jingxi, and Guanzhong were completely defeated, and the Jin people also retreated in April... I just ask all the ministers, bachelors, and ministers, when do you think they will come this year? You are very important at this time.
If you want to cause trouble, what are you planning to do?"
Lu Hao asked, Xu Jingheng and others all felt a sense of tightness in their chests.
"I said it directly today. You are not allowed to resign, you are not allowed to hang up your job for no reason, you are not allowed to claim illness without authorization, and you are not allowed to beg for leave without authorization, let alone discuss the old and new disputes..." Zhao Jiu rarely faced him with a straight face. "This is because of state affairs.
It’s difficult, the Jin and Song Dynasties are still at war, and the Jin people may go south in two months. And I worked hard today, and finally I was forced to say these unpleasant words, so whoever causes trouble again at this time, in my eyes
I have betrayed my country just like Liu Guangshi. If anyone is dissatisfied, please go to Magistrate Ye and join hands with him to ask the Queen Mother to depose me. You can use your own hands and feet, that's all!"
Lu Haowen and Xu Jingheng looked at each other and put on their soft hats in shame, but Ye Mengde collapsed completely.
"Officials, I would like to ask Ye Mengde to depose Qiongzhou Lingao and relocate him because of his good words and deeds." At this moment, Hu Yin, who had been silent, suddenly came out to impeach.
Hearing this, Lu, Xu, Wang, and Yuwen, plus the censor Zhongcheng Zhang Jun, and many other ministers, all reacted, and then almost jumped up from the embankment to face each other, expressing their agreement.
Zhao Jiu looked at Hu Yin, then at the ministers who were rarely in agreement, and suddenly laughed: "Then let's do it!"
Hearing this, Ye Mengde was completely relieved and couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude towards Hu Yin... If it weren't for Hu Yin, his only way out would be to commit suicide by jumping into a river tonight.
It was getting dark, and everyone dispersed with their own thoughts.
Not to mention what the ministers were thinking, it was rare for Zhao Guan's family not to ride a horse, but to ride back to the city with Mrs. Wu. On the way, Mrs. Wu saw the official's brows furrowed, and she wanted to be enlightened, but it was not easy to touch political affairs, thinking about it.
I wanted to go, but suddenly I leaned on the other person’s shoulder and asked with a smile:
"Guan Jia, you said before that if Dasu was a bachelor until today and then started working again, you said you wouldn't be able to go to Hehuang to open the border?"
"good."
"Then if you are the Shenzong, how should you arrange for Da Su to be educated?" Mrs. Wu asked curiously. "Will you also let him leave Hehuang?"
"Of course not." Zhao Jiu, who was thinking about something, blurted out. "Rather, we would have demoted him a few years ago... The so-called article hates fate. If he hadn't been demoted for half his life, how could he have written such good articles and poems?
?As for letting him go to the side, he will die if he can't go into battle."
Mrs. Wu was stunned for a moment.
"parking."
Zhao Guan's family did not talk to Mrs. Wu anymore, but suddenly gave an order. When the car stopped in the road, they got out of the car and asked someone to open the scroll of "Ode to the Former Red Cliff".
Mrs. Wu understood and immediately helped to raise the lamp, and Feng Yi also hurriedly stepped forward to offer the pen and ink.
Zhao Jiu took over the pen and ink and wrote a paragraph directly on the north side of "Ode to the Former Red Cliff" by the light of the lamp.
"Leave it to Mr. Xu later, and ask him to give a reward to Mr. Zhang's family for me." After Zhao Jiu finished writing this, he threw the pen on the ground, gave Feng Yi an order, and got in the car.
Feng Yi did not dare to neglect, and carefully held the precious scroll to the front of Mr. Xu's bus, which was not far behind the official carriage, and explained it.
Xu Jingheng was originally worried, but after hearing this, he cheered up a little, then got out of the car to pick him up and thanked Zhang Cie.
The four people around, Lu, Wang, Yuwen, and Zhang Jun were all close to each other. When they heard that the official had given Zhang Chou the "Ode to the Red Cliff" and that there was an inscription on it, they hurried over and each held up a lamp to read it.
The content of official inscriptions.
However, several people looked at it one after another, but were silent one after another. Not only that, the official carriage was far away. Later, countless scholars, ministers, and ministers looked at it one after another, and many of them were speechless.
It turns out that these few lines of small characters are clearly written in the Su style learned by the officials, but the content comes from the famous "A Journey to Baochan Mountain" by Wang Shuwang (Wang Anshi), who is highly controversial today.
As the saying goes:
However, if my strength is enough, I can ridicule others, but I have regrets for myself. If I try my best and fail to achieve it, I have no regrets. Who can ridicule me?
